I’m indecisive when it comes to my shoes. Choosing a werewolf mate who’ll be with me until I croak? Pardon me while I take some time to think on it. But a steamy encounter before the final ceremony changes everything.

Reaper, the Omega’s eldest grandson, is fiercely loyal, scorching hot, and built for pleasure. He brings down my defenses, and before I know what’s happening, I succumb to the heat in his touch and the skill of his mouth. I’ve only just met him, but I need him like no other.

As part of my pack duties, I must parade in front of the Alpha, who has first choice of the pre-shifters. Rumors of his dark desires run deep, and I’ve always been intrigued. But the forbidden passion blazing between Reaper and me is too primal to deny. By pack law, Reaper can’t have me until the Alpha makes his choice…but Reaper’s never been one to follow the rules.

Ivy Douglas has trouble making decisions, especially when it comes to her life, even more so a mate to spend the rest of her life with. So, now that she is at the final ceremony to join a pack, she has left her future and its path up to fate, or in this case the Omega.

Although, it doesn't take long before the pressure and uncertainty get the best of her and she find herself in the garden mulling over her choices and wondering what will happen now once she goes back into the castle. What she didn't expect was running into a handsome stranger who bring out the passion and desire that she hasn't felt for anyone before.

Reaper has always hidden in the shadows, he left the Omega to find the person responsible for his parents death and will not stop until they have been held to justice to their crime and pain that they caused him. He doesn't expect to see the red beauty in the garden or feel the desire to make her his but he knows that if he did that he would be breaking the law that the pack hold as law.

The lust and desire that Ivy and Reaper feel for each other, makes the results of the ceremony even more pressing. Though as time is ticking on Ivy's pull toward Reaper may not be her destiny and if that is the case Reaper isn't going to be happy.

Desiring Red is unlike any book I have read before, but I loved it's unique take on werewolves and fate. The different elements and story is thrilling and exciting to read. With its dangerously handsome men, powerful women and sexual tension it is an all around great book and I can't wait to read the second one.

Dangerous, Desire and Powerful.

Excerpt #1

Movement catches my eye, startling me. A red cloak. Without thinking, I snatch her by the elbow and haul her around, clutching her tight against my chest. She gasps, but as soon as she sees it’s me, her light eyes widen with awareness.

“What are you doing?” she whispers, and her words somehow tingle down my spine. “If anyone sees us…”

“I know better than anyone what will happen, but I had to see you one more time before you meet my cousin.”

“I don’t have long.”

“I know.”

Ivy breathes hard, her chest rising and falling against mine. She’s so fucking gorgeous—involuntary functions like breathing and blinking seem strained and forced. She’s warm and soft, and her body molds to mine perfectly. My hand skates over her back possessively, drawing her deeper into my embrace. I want to take her right here against the wall, right there on the floor, but hold back.

From around the corner, a guard calls out another name, and although I can’t see the line of women from my position, I know they’ve just moved one step closer to Lukas’s door.

Time is slipping away.

“I thought you weren’t supposed to touch me.” She eyes my arms where they coil around her waist. “Aren’t you breaking pack law?”

“Are you going to turn me in?”

“That depends.” Ivy blinks up at me with gorgeous almond-shaped eyes framed with thick, dark lashes. I’m lost. Focused on nothing but the flicker of heat in her eyes. “What are you going to do now that you’ve trapped me here?”

“I’m not sure. I hadn’t thought that far.”

But I have a million ideas, and none of them are clean. She grins coyly as if she can read my thoughts, and now I’m studying her luscious mouth.

“We could talk about how I’m not going to be chosen by the Alpha,” she offers matter-of-factly, “and how you’re going to meet me in room twenty-three tonight when this is over.”

“Yes.” My hands roam her back. “We could definitely talk about that.”

“Or better yet,” she whispers, standing up on tiptoe, “we can forget about talking all together and use our mouths for something way better. You could kiss me until I’m dizzy. And then if I can’t stand on my own two feet, you can carry me to your bed.”

“You’re going to damn me, woman.” My cock throbs, anxious for the chance to slide through her heat. “And I don’t even fucking care.”
